The recalled products were distributed in retail stores and
foodservice outlets nationwide.
This recall does not apply
to any other sizes or varieties of Ortega Seasoning Mix or to any
Ortega Seasoning Mixes in canisters, all of which are correctly
labeled. For example, this recall does not include
Ortega Fajita Seasoning Mix, Ortega Fish Taco
Seasoning Mix, Ortega Chili Seasoning Mix, Ortega Chipotle

“The safety of our consumers is our number one priority. We are
committed to providing safe, quality products while observing the
highest ethical standards in the conduct of our business,” said
William Wright, Executive Vice President of Quality Assurance and
R&D at B&G Foods. “The core values that we’ve embodied
since the company was founded in the 1800s — honesty, integrity and
accountability — guide our actions as we take the appropriate
measures to address this issue.”
This recall was initiated in consultation with the FDA after it
was discovered that ingredients from a single supplier used in the
affected products were contaminated with peanut and almond
allergens. B&G Foods has since terminated its relationship
with this supplier and is receiving these ingredients from other
sources in anticipation of resuming production shortly.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are urged to
return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers
with questions may contact the company’s recall hotline at
877-929-2576 from 8:00 a.m. ET to 8:00 p.m. ET, or visit
